About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Lively

Housed in a former mortuary, the decor layers macabre remnants with posh details in a window-flanked space overlooking the charming Lower Highland neighborhood. The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

We've been to Linger mutiple times over the years. We took some friends from out of state to Linger last night and while the restaurant was packed, the experience was sub-par at best. It took 30 minutes to get my mocktail that was a flavorless sugar bomb. Our food arrived in a chaotic manner with the staff being unsure of what they were delivering and to which table. Basic questions were met with puzzled expressions . Portions are also chaotic with inexpensive ingredients like rice noodles and lettuce in abundance and proteins ( mostly an upcharge) extremely inadequate for the dish. Wait staff was ckearly too busy to be attentive and table discussion is difficult over the kitchen staff yelling at each other. On a positive note, Linger has a great view of the city and a cool space. Several years ago, getting into Linger in the summer was virtually impossible because of their food quality and service. I was surprised that I didnt see them on restaurant recommendarion lists, but know I know why. There is far better food and service for the price in Denver. Sadly, Linger has fallen down considerably. Linger has an amazing

The food was inspired and really tasty. We will definitely be going back as soon as possible. It’s loud and crowded in there but that’s to be expected from a great restaurant that large.

Excellent option for gluten-free people they had a little stick in every single meal indicating it was gluten-free which I appreciated. Our service was absolutely amazing. I can’t remember his name, but remember he had a lot of tattoos. The food was absolutely amazing and the fried cheese curds were the best!

Linger has gone way down hill since the last time I was there. The food was oily and ill-prepared. My spouse felt ill after eating there. The service was MEH and the entire experience was disappointing. Linger has lost its luster.

Came to Denver from St Louis with a strong rec to get a table outside at Linger while we were here. Unfortunately the wind had other ideas and we ate inside. It was fabulous. Drinks were spot on! Food was beyond expectations!!! Our waiter, Luke was great. We went up on the rooftop when we finished and will be sure to come back to the rooftop.
